NJ Sharing Network

At NJ Sharing Network, we have discovered there are so many stories to be told and so much to be shared about organ and tissue donation. This is a place where transplant recipients, donor families, patients waiting for a life-saving transplant, volunteers, NJ Sharing Network staff, community members and advocates can share their insights. To learn more about organ and tissue donation in New Jersey, visit www.NJSharingNetwork.org.

What a beautiful day!

Hi all! WOW what a day yesterday at the 3rd Annual NJ Sharing Network 5K Walk and USATF Certified Race!

I don’t think we could have wished for a better day!

There were NEARLY 6,000 beautiful people in attendace: donor families, recipients and their families, living donors, people waiting for the gift of life, and the families of those who could no longer wait. We had over 150 volunteers throughout the day, and our wonderful commmunity members, hospital partners and sponsors were also in attendance, as they continue to support our life-saving work and our mission to save and enhance lives. Thanks to you, we have raised almost $650,000 so far and we’re still counting!

Remember: Contributions are still being accepted online, by-mail, and over-the-phone until July 15th! So keep it coming – I know we will reach our goal of $750,000!

What was your favorite part of the day? (I might have a hard time choosing just one!)
